What the doctor said came true, and the elder of Luojia Village left that night.
I heard that he woke up before leaving, so he held Luo Yu and spoke intermittently.
That night, Luo Yu's crying could be heard in the entire Luojia Village.
"You're not lucky." The third uncle muttered while sitting next to the people who had left. "The food has been planted, and there will be good days in the future, but you died because of a rain, leaving Yu'er alone. You I didn’t say anything about finding him a wife, so I just went there. When I see your son when I get down, what are you going to say?"
Luo Yu knelt in front of the coffin and wiped his tears, adding paper to the brazier in front of him from time to time.
A rain sent away an old man. This was the first person to die in Beishan County since its establishment.
It was so hard to build the city wall before, and it was so dangerous when facing the Yan army, but no one lost their life.
That night, Meng Changqing had several nightmares in a row, in which he vaguely remembered the events of his previous life.
When I opened my eyes at dawn, I almost couldn't tell who I was and where I was at the moment.
Only when he saw a full warehouse of water coming in did he come back to his senses, "Madam said, you can eat after washing your face, so wash up quickly."
Meng Changqing saw that her cheeks were bulging and she couldn't speak clearly, so he asked, "What did you eat?"
"Eggs." Mancang opened his mouth and showed it to her.
"Are you full?" Meng Changqing asked her to talk while getting dressed.
Mancang shook his head habitually.
"You have to speak up."
"Not full."
Meng Changqing took a sugar pill from the small drawer at the end of the bed and gave it to her, "That's very good. Go back to your room and continue eating."
After Mancang left, Meng Changqing buried his face in the basin and didn't raise his head until he couldn't hold in his breath.
"Could it be that if we don't work, no one will die?" she asked herself. "Did I kill the head of Luojia Village?"
"Perhaps he felt something, so he refused to come. Old age knows destiny. It is possible that he sensed that he was going to have this calamity."
"Master, what are you muttering about?" Bafang poked his head in from the door, "Madam, you still don't want to go over, so let me come and see you.
Are you okay? "
"It's okay." Meng Changqing cheered up, "Let's go eat."
During breakfast, Mrs. Wen did not ask about the deceased, but said, "Now that everything has been planted, as long as the year is good, all the debts owed by the county government can be repaid."
"Yes, the things grown in the fields now, as long as God gives him face, are enough to feed the people in the county for three or four years." Meng Changqing said, "You can't panic if you have food on hand.
Only when there is plenty of food will the people be willing to raise livestock. Otherwise, if people don't have enough to eat, who would be willing to feed the animals. "
"That's the truth." Wen said, "You should be busy with your own affairs, instead of just focusing on a certain person or household."
After finally talking about this matter, Meng Changqing said: "I always feel guilty. I was the one who persuaded him to come that day. It has only been a while now, but before he can live the good life I promised him, he is gone."
She couldn't help but frown, "My Beishan County is said to be a county town, but there is nothing. To hire a doctor, you have to rush to Yangmen County."
Wen patted her shoulder and said, "There will be."
Meng Changqing felt that what Wen said made sense. As a county official, she should not keep an eye on a certain family, but she always felt that there was her own reason for the death of the elder in Luojia Village.
So after waiting for the people to be buried, Meng Changqing found Luo Yu and said, "I see that you are not too young. If you don't have clear plans in the future, you might as well work in our county government."
Luo Yu was confused, but Luo Sanmu on the side pushed him, and he knelt down to thank him.
The post house in Beishan County has never been built, and all correspondence is directly handled by the county government.
"From today on, you will be the postmaster of Beishan County." Meng Changqing said, "When the farming season is slack, I will find someone to build the posthouse. Before that, come to the Yamen whenever you have free time, and I will teach you what to do. What."
After May, the weather reaches its hottest time, and it is no longer possible to work in the fields during the day. Every household begins to dry mud bricks and build houses.
Meng Changqing goes around the fields under the bright sun every day to see how the crops are growing and whether there is a lack of water in the fields.
Just looking at it day by day, I saw the sweet potato seedlings spreading and the soybeans maturing.
Meng Changqing was so dark that he looked really ugly.
On the middle of August, Chen Xingqi came to congratulate her with a box of snacks. He walked past her but didn't recognize her.
While shouting Changqing, he ran behind Meng Changqing.
"What's wrong with your eyes?" Chen Xingqi didn't react until Meng Changqing spoke up.
"Oh my god! Why are you so shady? I thought you were a servant bought by your family. I said that any servant would stand in the middle of the road and not retreat when he sees someone coming."
"Why did you come over suddenly?" Meng Changqing asked him.
"Today is August and a half." Chen Xingqi raised the box in his hand, "For your birthday, I brought you snacks from Liangzhou Mansion."
Meng Changqing asked: "Did you come here alone?"
"No, there are people escorting me in the military camp. I asked them to wait at the gate." Chen Xingqi tried to pull Meng Changqing away, "Let's go! Hey, what are you hiding from? I came all the way, you have to let me in for a cup of tea. .”
"Please come inside." Meng Changqing shouted loudly: "We have guests coming from all directions. Let's serve tea!"
Chen Xingqi walked around the two rows of houses in front of the government office several times before willing to sit down. "Okay, Meng Changqing, your building here looks like a county government office."
Bafang said: "This was originally the county government office."
Meng Changqing said: "Since I'm here, I'll have lunch here before I leave. I'll go to the back office and talk to my mother."
"yes."
After Bafang left, Meng Changqing stopped the people who were still looking around, "Why do you have time to leave the military camp?"
"You are so embarrassed to ask. When we meet in March, I will let you go to Weishanguan to see me when you have time. It's a good thing for you that you haven't gone even once, so I have to come to see you."
"You shouldn't go to that important place of your military camp with idle people and so on." Meng Changqing said, "If you are not busy, why not go back to Beijing and have a look."
"It's so easy to get back to the capital. It's thousands of miles away from Liangzhou." Chen Xingqi suddenly sighed, "Now even if I want to go back, the military camp won't let me go back."
"what happened?"
"What else can happen? I changed the ratio of gunpowder and the way of grinding gunpowder. Now General Wei refuses to let me go no matter what." Chen Xingqi said proudly: "He usually talks about you in front of me, but now I I will defeat you."
"After changing the ratio, is it even more powerful than before?"
"This is natural. Not only that, I add wine before grinding the gunpowder powder to solidify it into a piece, and then break it..."
"Stop it!" The more Meng Changqing listened, the more uncomfortable he became. If he continued to talk, the secret would be leaked. "You don't need to tell me the details. I only need to know the effect."
"The effect is much more stable than before. There are very few thunderbolts made using my method that don't explode. I already have some idea of the kind of thing you told me."
